I resent my service books, I got a new activation in my gmail but only a phone notification and not an activation email in my other account. Now I'm supposed to take out the battery?

Yes, try the battery pull. Did the other account have a Red Circle with a slash through it next to your T-bird account? Login and check. If not you might want to delete and then re-add the account. It's weird. When you get a congrats email it usually indicates success and resending the service books fixes it when it occasionally breaks.

I think I realized what the problem was - when it has been a while since the last email it only checks every 18 minutes, and if i'm sitting at my desk and getting those emails before they can reach the blackberry it won't recieve them - unless I turn on the option to leave a copy on the POP server. Do I make sense? I'm waiting with my email program turned off to see if it works now.
